Dear Lower School Families,
Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed the winter holiday break. The faculty and I always enjoy welcoming the students back after a holiday break and look forward to the second half of the school year.
Spring Parent-Teacher Conferences
Our spring parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for March 15-17. All conferences are in-person and on-campus only. These are scheduled right before spring break, and please note that we will be unable to re-schedule parent conferences so ask that you remember this when making any travel plans. Academy provides two full weeks of vacation for spring break, and all conferences take place on these three days and times only:
- Wednesday, March 15: 4:00 to 5:30 p.m.
- Thursday, March 16: 1:00 to 7:00 p.m.
- Friday, March 17: 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
A signup link will be sent out closer to the date.
Parent Book Club
We discussed the first half of “Hunt, Gather, Parent” by Dr. Michaeleen Doucleef on Wednesday. We will meet again on Tuesday, February 7, from 8:30-9:30 a.m. in the dining hall (fireside) to discuss chapters 9-16. It can be found online to purchase as well as in local libraries. Please use this form to RSVP.
Report Cards
Quarter 2 Report Cards will be available online for parents to review at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 25. Quarter 2 Report Cards include written comments about your children’s academic and social development.
Parenting Article
This week’s article is from the American Academy of Pediatrics and is entitled “Improving Family Communications.” It can be found following this link.
Lost and Found
Our lost-and-found collection is growing quickly again. Photos of the lost-and-found tables can be viewed below. If you see something that belongs to your children, please ask them to stop by the lower school lobby to claim it. The remaining items will be donated at the end of next week. Reminder: it is important that all clothing items are labeled with your children’s first and last names so we can return items to them.
